Whenever someone attends The Gathering, we want them to walk away understanding that this is not a usual “church experience”. We don’t seek to be different for difference sake. We want them to truly encounter God in their lives. It is bizarre but true that most people do not encounter God in the confines of the average church.

With that thought in mind, we have prayerfully sought God and His infinite wisdom to offer ministries which are relevant and interesting; but most importantly, ministries which are aimed at exchanging temporary values for eternal values.

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Children and their families are very important to us at The Gathering. Our children’s ministry partners with parents and many wonderful volunteers to help children grow and develop a relationship with Christ. We seek to offer a safe, caring and fun environment so that our kids are introduced to and experience the love of Jesus first hand. To ensure the safety of our kids, we screen each volunteer. Then this group of trained and passionate adults provides age appropriate teaching that encourages and challenges children to follow Christ.

STUDENTS
Emerge is a gathering for middle school and high school students in the Dayton area. It is a place where students can experience authentic community, passionate worship and relevant teaching. We meet on Sunday mornings during the 10:45 AM worship service at the Gathering. Click here to see the new Emerge website: http://www.emergenow.org
